Route 66 was commissioned in 1926 as part of the U.S.'s first federal highway system. Also known as "the Mother Road," it stretches more than 2,400 miles across eight states.

"As Route 66’s popularity grew," says the National Trust of Historic Preservation, "mom and pop shops, quirky roadside architecture, motels, theaters, and gas stations sprung up in main streets, urban centers, and rural areas. These unique places provided a respite for travelers on the road, and they became signifiers of a particular place."

While officially decommissioned in 1985, the National Trust, Road Ahead Partnership, and other state and local partners are working hard to seek a National Historic Trail designation for the highway.
